L-Phenylalanine, hydrochloride (1:1)

Description:
L-Phenylalanine hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of the essential amino acid L-phenylalanine, which is crucial for protein synthesis and serves as a precursor for neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline powder, highly soluble in water, and exhibits a slightly acidic pH in solution. As an amino acid, it contains both an amino group and a carboxylic acid group, contributing to its role in biological processes. L-Phenylalanine is important in nutrition and is often included in dietary supplements, particularly for individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU), a metabolic disorder. The hydrochloride form enhances its stability and solubility, making it more bioavailable. In addition to its nutritional significance, L-phenylalanine is also studied for its potential effects on mood and cognitive function, although further research is needed to fully understand these effects. Safety data indicates that it is generally well-tolerated, but individuals with specific metabolic disorders should consult healthcare professionals before use.
